    For riding for a long tour it is so comfortable to ride. The brake system are also very good. No major issues are seen till now. The handling is very comfort. The bike is giving 45+ mileage .I am very surprised to see this kind of best performance. I have never seen this like of bikes . I advise you all to you can blindly purchase the bajaj bikes. And their on-rood price are very low as compares to other companies.

  • Awesome bike

    5 years ago


    Faizan Khan

    I love this bike. I don't know why !The highlight of the tvs apache rtr 180 abs for me is its handling. With an ever communicative chassis and small wheelbase meant the apache rtr 180 abs changes direction eagerly and it was a joy to carve my way out of the traffic infested roads of mumbai during my commute. Having said that, the bike has a tendency to wobble while cornering at high-speeds which can be a bit nerve-wracking. This can be blamed on the softly sprung rear-suspension that has been setup to provide decent ride quality but i feel its blasphemy given the brilliant chassis. Tvs apache rtr 180 abs’s power plant has a good amount of punch which makes overtaking an effortless affair. But the motor is plagued with vibrations and it clearly needs an upgrade with respect to refinement. I also found the five-speed gearbox a bit notchy. Overall my experience with the tvs apache rtr 180 abs has been a pleasant one as it reduced my commuting time while adding a dash of excitement but it’s time to return the bike to its rightful owner.

    Buying experience was good not that much because of abs version is not available at some places. Riding experience was awesome i generally use it for long touring. Setting was not comfortable for pillion coz of hard narrow seats it gives a little back pain. Also little bit vibration feel near tank and foot rest, after 6000 rpm the vibration are like nokia 3310 but there is no drop on speed and pick-up. Throttle response was crispy and smooth, no lag in acceleration as claimed as rtr. I have abs model and the breaking was just wow. Abs save me so many times specially in wet condition. Look wise a premium bike but instrument cluster was too old it's time to change it with new digital console with rpm indicator, stand on indicator and engine indicator (overheat etc). At the side look bike look very sporty in white color. At the back it has the same look. Silencer has the same old one not attractive that much may be it's time to get a shorter sporty silencer. And headlights have good looks but not a good light through at night. It's so difficult to see at night with halogen bulb. Servicing experience was good but no solution for vibration but after servicing it reduces. Maintenance cost is not so high just take care your bike at time to time it will take care of your wallet. My opinion:- it is a powerful bike at mid range but the rear wheel width is not enough. I usually do a long touring more than 500kms a day seating posture was bad for touring because of sporty feel. Little pain in back and wrist after 150kms. Also the seat was not soft for long ride. And the major issue is vibration, continuously riding feel like you loss your eggs coz of tank vibration.

    Tips for other riders

    Don't use engine oil which they give you in service center. Use other brands like motul 10w40w fully synthetic or liqui moly 10w40w fully synthetic. It will reduce vibration. And the engine oil change period is 7000kms. It will cost you more than regular oil but it's make your bike relabel.

    Got it on 27-07-2017. Since abs version was not available, settled without one. I have been using it for daily commute as well as occasional weekend rides to mountains. The beast has always managed to put a grin on my face. Acceleration is something out of this world. Just completed 26000kms..Love it.

    Buying experience was good not that much because of abs version is not available at some places. Riding experience was awesome i generally use it for long touring. Setting was not comfortable for pillion coz of hard narrow seats it gives a little back pain. Also little bit vibration feel near tank and foot rest, after 6000 rpm the vibration are like nokia 3310 but there is no drop on speed and pick-up. Throttle response was crispy and smooth, no lag in acceleration as claimed as rtr. I have abs model and the breaking was just wow. Abs save me so many times specially in wet condition. Look wise a premium bike but instrument cluster was too old it's time to change it with new digital console with rpm indicator, stand on indicator and engine indicator (overheat etc). At the side look bike look very sporty in white color. At the back it has the same look. Silencer has the same old one not attractive that much may be it's time to get a shorter sporty silencer. And headlights have good looks but not a good light through at night. It's so difficult to see at night with halogen bulb. Servicing experience was good but no solution for vibration but after servicing it reduces. Maintenance cost is not so high just take care your bike at time to time it will take care of your wallet. My opinion:- it is a powerful bike at mid range but the rear wheel width is not enough. I usually do a long touring more than 500kms a day seating posture was bad for touring because of sporty feel. Little pain in back and wrist after 150kms. Also the seat was not soft for long ride. And the major issue is vibration, continuously riding feel like you loss your eggs coz of tank vibration.

    Don't use engine oil which they give you in service center. Use other brands like motul 10w40w fully synthetic or liqui moly 10w40w fully synthetic. It will reduce vibration. And the engine oil change period is 7000kms. It will cost you more than regular oil but it's make your bike relabel.

    Got it on 27-07-2017. Since abs version was not available, settled without one. I have been using it for daily commute as well as occasional weekend rides to mountains. The beast has always managed to put a grin on my face. Acceleration is something out of this world. Just completed 26000kms..Love it.

    For riding for a long tour it is so comfortable to ride. The brake system are also very good. No major issues are seen till now. The handling is very comfort. The bike is giving 45+ mileage .I am very surprised to see this kind of best performance. I have never seen this like of bikes . I advise you all to you can blindly purchase the bajaj bikes. And their on-rood price are very low as compares to other companies.

  • Awesome bike

    5 years ago


    Faizan Khan

    I love this bike. I don't know why !The highlight of the tvs apache rtr 180 abs for me is its handling. With an ever communicative chassis and small wheelbase meant the apache rtr 180 abs changes direction eagerly and it was a joy to carve my way out of the traffic infested roads of mumbai during my commute. Having said that, the bike has a tendency to wobble while cornering at high-speeds which can be a bit nerve-wracking. This can be blamed on the softly sprung rear-suspension that has been setup to provide decent ride quality but i feel its blasphemy given the brilliant chassis. Tvs apache rtr 180 abs’s power plant has a good amount of punch which makes overtaking an effortless affair. But the motor is plagued with vibrations and it clearly needs an upgrade with respect to refinement. I also found the five-speed gearbox a bit notchy. Overall my experience with the tvs apache rtr 180 abs has been a pleasant one as it reduced my commuting time while adding a dash of excitement but it’s time to return the bike to its rightful owner.
